Ⅰ.单项填空
1. After Mo yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, many people visited him to find out ______ it was that made him successful.
A. when B. what
C. why D. how
答案 B
解析 考查强调句型。动词短语find out后接宾语从句，而且这个宾语从句是强调句型的疑问句形式，意为“到底是什么让他成功”。根据句意，从句中疑问词用what，在从句中作主语。
2. David is going to focus on the geography of the Diaoyu Islands, but we’d rather he ______ mo re about its history.
A. talks B. talked
C. would talk D. had talked
答案 B
解析 考查虚拟语句。句意：大卫将重点讲述钓鱼岛的地理，但是我们宁愿他多谈谈它的历史。would rather后接宾语从句时， 从句中应用虚拟语气。根据is going to可知，此处表示与将来事实相反，从句应用一般过去时，故选B。
